My dogs are survivalists!

I came home today after being gone since 6 am this morn. The kids late for school, it's snowing so hard you can't hardly see. I have 12 hours of things to do and 6 hours to do them.
So feeding the dogs this morn before I left got lost in the shuffle. Yeah I know I'm a candidate for a PETA poster boy.

I did however feel sorry for them and left the garage door up a couple of feet so they could go inside and get out of the weather. Dumb mutts won't go in their dog house. If I leave them outside they go under the deck and huddle up in a corner.

So I come home around 7 pm and open the garage door and there is cardboard torn up all over the floor. I start looking around and the dogs had gotten into my stock of MRE's and torn open an entire case of ham slices and devoured them!!

My wife just shook her head and said "Only your dogs". She said "You have to tell that on the Monkey".

So I guess my survival preps have rubbed off even on the animals!!
I'll make darn sure that they have a full bowl of Ol' Roy in the morn. A heck of a lot cheaper than MRE's!!!

There is nothing for nothing any longer." -George Washington

Funny you should bring up this issue. The following is the lead paragraph I had to write at 10:00pm the other night on an email that just had to go out before I went to bed:

Sorry for the delay, but I had the pleasure of spending 3 hours steam cleaning my dining room carpet as a result of fluffy fricking puppy deciding that 4 cans of sardines would be a fun chewing project for the afternoon while the house was empty. Yes, she chewed through the tin cans of the smelliest sardines in olive oil and ate all them all, discarding the oil, small fish parts and wrappers. I may never eat them again or so my wife has now forbidden the purchase of said sardines until the dog is dead or hell freezes over.

I sent the dog to the kennel for the weekend so I don't take her out to the back 40, dig a deep pit and have a doggie "holocaust" moment.

I'm glad it was the ham slices! I had a full case of just entree's. And they were a few years old. probably would have been dog food soon anyway.
